The Christian doctrine of divine simplicity appears in Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. The doctrine makes the theological claim that God has no parts and just is his "attributes" or perfections.

The problem with the statement "God is Love" is that it is always brought into the human concept of Love which is the opposite of hate. Unconditional Love is beyond human conceptual mind.

Love reach you to God.
God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

I believe Your holy spirit is love. That spirit is part of God. If you were to live only out of love for all things in this world and destroy all the hate, fear, doubt, greed, jealously, anger and all the other dark things inside ,you would be as Jesus and know God's true form.

God is love. I would hardly call him "simple". His attributes have given form. We have his Eternal Son and He also gains mobility through the Infinite Spirit of his own creation. God's thoughts do create forms and they do come into existence. We are living proof.

God has parts just like man has parts, only perfected and immortal. He also has attributes which are perfect such as his ability to love.

No we are made in His image to have His stature and to reciprocate His love to Him and others.
